PP1 wheel fitment guide

I get asked about wheels for the Beat every month, so here is a short guide.

The Beat is staggered from the factory: smaller tires on the front, larger on the rear. Stock sizes:

Rules of thumb

• Keep the overall diameter within about 3 percent of stock or the speedometer will drift.
• Bigger is not better on a 760 kg car. Unsprung weight is the enemy.
• If you want to run square, go for a lightweight wheel and check clearance at full lock before you buy.

Post your own setups below with offset and tire sizes and I will add them to the table.

Mine are the original 14s up front and a set of 15s at the back with 195/50. Fits with no rubbing even at full lock.

Cappuccino owner here but I am eyeing a Beat as a second car. Very useful, thank you.

This deserves to live in the Resources section too. Want to turn it into a proper guide?
